My Vietnamese Blue Bell is full of flowers in mid October. Last year it bloomed in July. I did move from NC to MO in July - so maybe it was stressed? Any thoughts? P.S. Yes, the flowers do smell like grape soda.

The art of bonsai can be an excellent balm against stress – after all, what’s more calming than a tiny slice of nature you can take with you wherever you go?

1st wiring of this “yamadori” pine (after - left photo & before - right photo). I did not change a lot. Added some structure & movement to the branches & some movement to the top. I’ll be looking to repot next spring. Might remove the 2nd branch on the left in the future to give more negative space. I’m pretty sure this is a loblolly pine & it will always have long needles but they may reduce over time. Some people have ponderosa pine with long needles as bonsai - why not a loblolly?

I’m planning on working on this quince after the blooms fade. Any suggestions?

This is my “Yamadori” pine (loblolly I think) collected 1 1/2 years ago. Thinking about doing the 1st styling soon. Any suggestions?
